Dear Arthur Anderson. I would like to thank your very much on selecting me to predict for you what our economy will be like over the next year. I think that you are going to be very happy with this report, and can therefore use this as a future reference in the near coming.
             We as a country are going through a very tough period of time. With all that has been happening with the war, many things have been changing.

             Unemployment is expected to increase at a steady rate for the year to come. I see this happening because of what the past years and months have looked like and especially because of the interest rates. They have been very poo
